CAUTIONS

1. General
Non-conformability with expendables/accessories/other device
Please use designated battery, ultrasonic gel, probe and headset. Do not
use those accessories for other devices.

1-1. PROBE
(1) The standard probe is for transcutaneous use only.
(2) The probe transducer is a very thin and delicate part. Please take
care not to drop or hit the probe tip. After use, protect the transducer
with probe cover.
The probe cover also prevents against switching ON when storing the
unit after use.

1-2. ULTRASOUND GEL

(1) Always use an ultrasound gel. Using other materials such as baby oil
and cream may not produce correct Doppler sound, but may damage
the probe.
(2) Incidence of allergy
Please use other type of ultrasonic gel if there is an allergic reaction
occurred after use of the probe with the gel.

1-3. BATTERY
(1) When battery is low, the power indicator becomes dark. Also there will
be no speaker sounds. Replace the battery.
(2) Use a 9 volt alkaline square type battery. A non-alkaline may cause a
shortage of power.
(3) When not using the unit for a long time, remove the battery.

2
2. Before using the unit
(1) Do not place near water or other liquid.
(2) Do not place where atmospheric pressure, ventilation, sunlight, dust,
salt, sulfur and so forth will not affect the unit adversely.
(3) Use only on conditions of temperature between 10 and 40 degrees
Centigrade and humidity less than 75 %.
(4) Take care of the stability conditions such as inclination, vibration, and
shock during transportation.
(5) Do not place where chemicals are stored, or where gas may be gen-
erated.
(6) Keep the unit and the patient from a computer more than 1.5 m apart.
(7) When using the unit after a long time, do not forget to check whether
the unit operates normally and safely.
(8) Make sure that there are no damages on the unit and probe.

3. When operating the unit

(1) When using the unit together with an electrosurgery unit or a defibril-
lator, disconnect the probe and the other cables while such a unit is
being used.
Neglecting this may cause a burn to the patient.
(2) When any abnormality is found in the unit or in the patient, take
proper action such as stopping operating the unit in a manner safe to
the patient.
(3) Possibility of operation under unexpected environments
Please do not use the Doppler continuously for more than 1 hour to
avoid a rash of the skin.

4. After using the unit

(1) Turn power switch off, and disconnect all cables.
(2) Clean the unit, accessories, cables and probes . (See Page 14,
Cleaning)

5. When the unit gets out of order, call the dealer for
repair from who you purchased the unit.

6. Do not remodel the equipment.

7. Periodical safety checks by user

Please perform the following safety checks once a year:

(1) Make sure if there is no damage and/or crack on the main unit and
probe.
(2) Shake the main unit and make sure if there are no sounds inside from
internal components coming out.
(3) Turn the unit on and make sure if the pilot lamp goes on.

8. Destruction

(1) In case of destruction of the unit, follow the instructions for disposition
of the destruction appointed by each country or local government.

CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

Use the unit for the following clinical applications only:

* Evaluation of fetal heart beat and sounds.

* Peripheral vascular procedures.
* Pedal pulse assessment.
* Blood pressure segmental studies.
* Venous compressions.
* Penile & digit systolic pressures.

HOW TO TURN THE UNIT ON and OFF

1. Open the battery cover as pictured on

the left.
Set an alkaline square type battery in
the unit ensuring that the positive and
negative electrodes correspond to the +
and - marks on the label in the battery
box.

2. Connect the probe with the arrow up on

the probe connector (12 o'clock), and
depress the probe button to turn the unit
ON.
To start the measurement, turn the
volume control to maximum.

3. Depress the probe button again to turn

the unit OFF.

4. AUTOMATIC POWER OFF

If the unit is left on, the power is automatically shut off in about 5 min-
utes.
Note: The auto-off time depends on room temperature.

5. REPLACING BATTERY
Replace the battery with new one if the power indicator becomes
dark. Use a 9 volt ALKALINE square type battery. A non-alkaline may
cause a shortage of power.

EXTERNAL OUTPUTS

1. HEADSET
Connect the headset when necessary. The headset cuts off the
speaker.

OPERATION

(1) Connect the probe to the MINIDOP with

the round hollow mark up on the probe
connector (12 o'clock).

(2) Put ultrasonic gel on the probe top or

patient skin.
Depress the probe button to turn the
unit on

(3) Make sure the power indicator on the

unit is on.
Turn the volume control to maximum.

8
 (4) Put the probe on the measurement area
and move it slowly to locate the point
where the maximum Doppler sounds
are heard. An ideal probe angle to the
vessel is approximately 60 degrees.

(5) If you are using the 2 MHz probe to

detect fetal heart beats, put the probe
on the measurement area and move it
slowly to locate the point where the
maximum heart beat Doppler sounds
Skin surface are heard.
Caution: Verify the fetal heart rate.
(Maternal heart rates match the mater-
nal pulse rates.)

(6) Headset can be used to listen to Dop-

pler sounds. It will cut off the speaker.

PROBES and APPLICATIONS

The frequency of diagnostic ultrasound is inversely proportional to depth of

penetration. The MINIDOP has 5 interchangeable probes with different
frequencies.
Use those probes depending on your applications.

BT2M20S8C (2 MHz): Fetal heart beat and sounds

BT4M05S8C (4 MHz): Deep peripheral blood flow
BT5M05S8C (5 MHz): Deep peripheral blood flow
BT8M05S8C (8 MHz): Superficial blood flow
BT10M5S8C (10MHz): Superficial blood flow

* CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

1. Detection of Fetal Heart Sounds

Probes to be used BT2M20S8C (2 MHz)

Evaluation of fetal heart beat and sounds throughout pregnancy except

where fetal heart is not developed sufficiently during the first trimester.

2. Detection of Arterial and Venous Blood Flow

Probes to be used BT4M05S8C (4 MHz)

BT5M05S8C (5 MHz)
BT8M05S8C (8 MHz)
BT10M5S8C (10MHz)

PRINCIPLES

Model ES-100VX MINIDOP is designed to receive blood flow velocity infor-

mation by ultrasound. A specific frequency is transmitted from the probe to
the patient.

Technically the transceiver amplifies a high frequency oscillation output for

transmission to the transducer. The voltage is converted by a piezoelectric
crystal (transducer) to ultrasound. The ultrasound beam is transmitted to
blood cells flowing through arteries or to beating fetal hearts. The ultra-
sound beam is reflected by the red blood cells or by moving structures and
received by the crystal in the transducer which converts the ultrasound into
a voltage. A Doppler shift occurs between the emission and reception of the
ultrasound beam.

The voltage is amplified. The electronics amplifies the signal, filters out
noise and improves the S/N ratio. The Doppler shift signals are amplified
further and converted to audible sound via a speaker.
